Over 200,000 tons of
cement for aviation
Airports have their own atmosphere
- ingeniously captured by
Reinhard Mey with his song Über
den Wolken [Above the Clouds].
The aroma of the great wide
world is always present here;
regardless of how well the Internet
links people and continents.
And when the sht drivers drive
their silo trucks across the airport
grounds, they experience a certain
feeling of excitement.
Cement logistics is still one of sht's
primary areas of activity. Between
2010 and 2013 sht will deliver a
total of over 200,000 tons of cement
especially for construction
of German airport facilities. sht's
enormous performance capability
and all required qualifi cations
are the reason the company was
awarded the contract under comparable
conditions.
Frankfurt/Main Airport
The largest airport construction
project presently requiring delivery of
cement is the new north-west runway
at the Frankfurt Airport. Construction
was started on January 2009. The
additional runway is an important
feature for the future capability of the
Frankfurt Airport, which simultaneously
gives the airlines security for
their planning.
After opening, the 2.8 km long
runway will allow aircraft to move in,
parallel increasing the capacity from
presently 83 to 126 take-offs and
landings per hour. With this increase
in capacity the Frankfurt Airport will
be capable of handling the increasing
demands of passengers and airlines.
The new runway is to be put into
operation for the 2011/2012 winter
fl ight plan.
At the request of AVG Mineralische
Baustoffe GmbH in Duisburg, sht
anticipates delivery of a total of approximately
180,000 tons of cement
to the mobile mixing equipment on
the airport grounds. Over half of this
volume has already been delivered.
At peak times up to 60 silo trucks arrive each day at
the construction site for the new north-west runway
at the Frankfurt Airport.
Various types of cement are obtained
from different production plants such
as Dyckerhoff in Göllheim and Wiesbaden
or Otterbein in Grossenlüder.
On peak days the responsible construction
contractor, the Road
Construction Division of Bilfi nger
Berger Ingenieurbau GmbH, located
in Frankfurt orders up to 60 silo trucks
per day. Delivery is accomplished at
concrete pouring times around the
clock. Up to three trucks can be emptied
simultaneously.
